Dr. Seuss collection — For more than 60 years, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations have brought a visual realization to his imaginary worlds. His artistic talent went far beyond the printed page and yet, to this day, his Secret Art Collection is virtually unknown to the general public. Throughout his lifetime, Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) created paintings and sculpture. CV Art and Frame, Your Fine Art Gallery will share a selection of artworks from The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection at 110 S. Main St., Nov. 6–21.

Visitors may explore and acquire works from Dr. Seuss’s best-known children’s books, as well as The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, a collection based on decades of artwork.

Box said almost 70 percent of Hoosiers hospitalized with COVID-19 in October were 60 or older, representing the population’s largest percentage of hospitalizations since the pandemic began. The population also disproportionately accounts for most of the state’s COVID-19 deaths.

As of press time, residents 60 and older account for 92.2 percent of Indiana’s COVID-19 deaths, according to the state’s online coronavirus dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov. Box said nearly 56 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been traced to longterm care facilities.

On Oct. 21, state officials announced that the Indiana National Guard will be trained and sent to all long-term care facilities by the middle of this month to assist with surges. State officials also said clinical staff from the health care reserve workforce will be hired to supplement long-term care resources. Two million N95 masks and other pieces of personal protective equipment were scheduled to be shipped to the facilities.

In September, Indiana began awarding more than $30 million to local health departments to open and operate their own testing sites for two years. To date, the departments have opened 69 testing sites and conducted more than 59,000 tests.

“As we have seen more cases across the state, we are also seeing more testing,” Box said. “In the early days of the pandemic, our capacity for testing was measured in the hundreds each day, not in the tens of thousands we are seeing regularly today.

“Our testing capacity is the highest that it has ever been.”

Zionsville home sales — Smaller sale price increases led to a fast-moving residential real estate market in Zionsville in September 2020. According to F.C. Tucker Company, the average sale price for a home in Zionsville was $498,869, an increase of 2.3 percent compared to September 2019. Zionsville homes left the market very quickly compared to this time last year, selling 33 days faster. The average price per square foot for a home in Zionsville also increased 1.5 percent, to $164.41.

Zionsville Town Council adopts 2021 budget

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council unanimously adopted a 2021 budget after several weeks of meetings and negotiTOWN NEWS ations to pass it without a deficit.

Since Sept. 16, the council met seven times, including three budget workshops and a special meeting on Oct. 29. The council allowed an additional two weeks of deliberations to ensure it and other town departments were satisfied with the budget.

Adopted revenue for the 2021 budget register is $31,982,623 and adopted expenses is $31,961,824, leaving a surplus of $20,799.

In 2020, the town council adopted a budget with $31,173,282 in revenue and $32,883,090 in expenses, resulting in a deficit of $1,709,808.

The total budget amount includes $5.7 million of transfers on the revenue and expense side. The $31.9 million figure is the budget amount without the transfers. The Council approved the $37.7 million budget when including the transfers.

Tammy Havard, the town’s CFO, explained during the Oct. 29 special meeting why the 2020 budget was adopted with a deficit.

“There are capital expenses that do occur from cash savings over the years,” she said.

“That is a common practice. It’s known that capital expenses happen and are planned for.”

Major capital outlays in 2021 include expenses related to a new roundabout, two fire tankers, Town Hall improvements and other town projects, which the council can fund through cash balance reserves saved in prior years, Havard said.

The council cut other expenses to keep $500,000 in street repair funds in the budget, Havard said.

The town stated in a social media post that states, “The technology improvements added to the budget will make it more efficient for citizens to interact with the town and allow for streamlined sharing of financial and nonfinancial information with citizens.”

Police operating costs in the Police Operating Fund and Public Safety LIT Fund totaled $5,900,395 in 2020. The total in 2021 is $5,827,225.

A special Armistice Day Commentary by Ward Degler Veterans Day used to be Armistice Day. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson declared it a day of remembrance PLAIN TALK for those who had fallen during World War I. It was established on Nov. 11.

It was declared a national holiday in 1938, and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a declaration changing the name to Veterans Day in honor of veterans — living and dead — from all wars.

As a veteran of two conflicts, I have a special place in my heart for Veterans Day. I remember the men I served with, and several who never made it back home.

I also remember one special Armistice Day. It was 1947, and the events of that day were so powerful that I wrote a short story about them a number of years later.

Here is that story: The Day Jack Underwood Came Home Jack Underwood finally came on Armistice Day in 1947. The war had been over for two years, but he had remained on Saipan, a small island in the Pacific where one of the bloodiest battles of the war had raged.

TACTICS-BASED GOLF TRAINING

Jack had been highly decorated, and everyone agreed Armistice Day was a perfect time for him to come home.

The homecoming went quite well, all in all.

Almost everyone in town met the train when it came in from St. Louis. And, of course, everyone remembered the promises they had made when Jack went overseas. Mr. Underwood had pledged he would take the old Ford down off the blocks and wax it to a bright luster. Jack’s sister Louise kept her promise to iron all of Jack’s shirts and hang them in the closet. Even Mr. Murphy ordered “drinks on the house” all afternoon at the Birds Nest Bar. Mrs. Underwood’s promise – made mostly to herself – was that she wouldn’t cry. And she did OK until the very last, when the bugler blew taps, and the Marine captain presented her with the folded flag.

Yes, everyone kept their promises that day, including Jack, who had promised he would come home.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is the author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”

One Zionsville family’s experience with COVID-19

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Bella Davis, a “perfectly healthy girl” according to her parents, walked down her family’s third-story stairs Aug. 20 to celebrate her 16th birthday. It was the first time she had left the top floor of her family’s house in 40 days.

In early July, after a cross-country practice at Cathedral High School, Bella, who is now a Zionsville Community High School student, complained to her mother, Holly, 44, that she had aches and pains throughout her body. Holly at first dismissed them as exhaustion from running several miles in the summer heat, but as the pain subsisted, she suspected Bella was suffering from something other than normal fatigue.

Shortly after the July practice, Bella saw a doctor. Although she exhibited no symptoms of COVID-19, she was asked to take a test as a precaution. To the family’s surprise, she tested positive. And, though she tested negative for the disease for the first time on her 16th birthday, she still hasn’t fully recovered from the disease, and doctors don’t know why.

“Something still isn’t right; she still suffers,” Holly said. “She’s been trying, but she doesn’t like to be around anyone. Our doctor said this from the beginning, ‘We don’t know that you can’t get it again.’ Obviously her immune system has been compromised as a result of it, so protecting her is incredibly important.”

Immediately following her positive test, Bella’s father, Michael, 49, and her two sisters, Maggie, 18, and Vivie, 11, and Holly immediately isolated and sequestered Bella to the third floor of the family home. Bella’s breathing became labored, and she developed a slight cough. She spent most of her time in bed. The family could only interact with her through text messages or video chats. The closest they came to physical contact was leaving food by the door.

The family quarantined for the required 14 days. As she worked from home, Holly – as she participated in Zoom calls – could hear her daughter struggling to breathe. So could the rest of the family.

For Bella, the isolation was boring in the beginning, but she learned to cope. Her only reprieves were texting, Snapchat and other

forms of social media. By the second or third week, she lost sense of time and sometimes track of days. She often paced her room but eventually became bored with that.

In the weeks that followed, Holly started each day with a text from the Boone County Health Dept. asking whether anyone else in the family had become symptomatic. For the first two weeks, daily telehealth calls ensued as physicians tried to ascertain Bella’s condition remotely. During one of the first calls, a physician asked if Bella had a fever, and Holly began to instinctively reach for Bella’s forehead. But the physician stopped her.

The Davis family believes Bella contracted COVID-19 during the July cross-country

practice. They rarely left the house, other than when Michael bought groceries. Holly has an increased risk of becoming severely ill from the disease. Word quickly spread in Bella’s peer group, and soon, most of them knew she had the disease. Students at other schools knew she had it. Somehow, without telling anyone but her close friends, word spread, and it became common knowledge Bella had COVID-19.

“I told my friends I was literally dying of COVID-19,” Bella said. “And everyone was shocked that I could even get sick, let alone be really sick with it. At that point, kids weren’t getting sick with it. Or so everybody thought.”

As schools began to reopen for the fall semester and many announced plans to hold in-person classes, Bella’s parents knew she would be unable to attend in-person, but they also knew her sisters would be unable to do the same at their schools because of the risk of infection.

Maggie missed her high school graduation ceremony. She was set to start college at Indiana University, but the family canceled her housing contract. Four of her five classes are online. She drives to Bloomington to attend the other.

Bella and Vivie enrolled in Zionsville schools so Bella and Vivie could enroll in fully-virtual classes. The girls found themselves in a different school system, away from their friends, where they didn’t know any other students.

As weeks passed and Bella regained some of her strength, Maggie and Vivie sat at the bottom of the family’s third-story stairs while Bella sat at the top. It was her first time Bella saw her family in person for weeks.

“It was really weird coming out of that,” Bella said. “I hadn’t been around people in so long, so it was kind of overwhelming.

And then the first few days after I finally tested negative, I still felt like somehow I was going to get my family sick. I was not sure if I should really hug them. It took a while to readjust.”

The lingering effects of the disease lasted for Bella’s sisters, too.

“We don’t really think about how it wears on our kids,” Holly said. “And then they’ll say something and it hits you like a ton of bricks.”

When the school year started, Holly asked Maggie if she had made any new friends on campus, but Maggie said, “I don’t know where those kids have been; I can’t bring that home to you.”

One night, Vivie cuddled with her mom and made a request.

“If I die, I want my organs to be donated to people who own dogs,” she said.

Bella is still plagued by fatigue and headaches, and the family has a second appointment with a cardiologist scheduled to run tests on Bella’s heart.

Now, several months after testing negative for COVID-19, Bella, a 16-year-old who would regularly run several miles without rest, still struggles to walk up a flight of stairs.

ESSAY

LETTER

Final tally

Herd immunity won’t work

Commentary by Terry Anker Watching the Hoosiers of Indiana University claim an overtime football victory against the Nittany Lions of Penn State not only provided much-needed fun in a world still reeling from lockdowns and countless existential crises, it also provided excitement safely bound by familiar rules and long-standing good sportsmanship. Fans waited for nearly a year to see their favorite teams take the gridiron and were not disappointed.

Athletes gave it their all. Coaches ran the sidelines and hoped the hours of preparation and planning would lead to the desired outcome. Both sides were ready. Still, only one team would walk away as winner. There are no participation trophies in this game.

Naturally, this writer, like the vast majority of this paper’s readers readers, rooted for the home team. Sure, some of us are alumni, but most followed our natural proclivity to back those closest by geography. One can assume that the people of Philadelphia might be more inclined to hope for a Penn State dominion. This game was played in Bloomington. IU had the home field advantage.

Doubtless, fans who’d made the trip to watch and support the opposition would have been heckled some by the locals. It is all in good fun, right?

But for this event, followers were barred. Folks could only chant their well wishes or express their frustrations in front of their living room televisions.

No one could hear the names called to the referees or the jeering of the other team’s star player. Maybe that’s better, and maybe it is not.

Today is another big game day. The elections will end, and someone will win. There is no participation trophy.

Coaches and candidates gave it their all.

Will the fans feel like it was a fair fight?

Will the right team dominate? Will we go into overtime?

Tears for (pranking) fears Commentary by Danielle Wilson Doo and I love a laugh at the expense of our four kids. We like to mess with them with statements like, “We don’t HUMOR do favorites, but you’re third.”

Recently, my youngest sister played a doozy of a parenting prank, outlined below in all its glory.

First, some context. Emily and her husband, Kyle, have two sons, ages 6 and 4. Our mother lives seven doors away, and their old live-in babysitter, Kelsey, lives about a mile away. The other night, they were getting ready for bed and could hear the boys goofing around in the bathroom as they brushed their teeth and donned pajamas.

After repeated warnings of “Hurry up!” from Kyle, the older one yelled, “Go away! We don’t need you!”

Naturally, Kyle and Emily turned off the lights and hid in the guest bedroom. A few minutes later, the boys emerged, silent at first, then with increasingly alarmed cries of “Mom? Dad? Where are you? This isn’t funny!” Yes, it is! Emily was stifling her giggles to the point of tears.

As fears of abandonment escalated, a plan emerged.

Four-year-old: “Let’s go to Kelsey’s.”

Six-year-old: “Yeah, good idea.”

Four-year-old, now crying: “But we (sniffle) don’t know how (gulp) to get there!”

Preschool hysteria ensued, but eventually they checked the last door and unearthed the conspirators.

Upon hearing the story, we first congratulated Emily and Kyle. Well played! Then we recognized the cool-under-fire, problem-solving skills of our nephews, though we wondered why they’d failed to consider their much-closer Mamaw, who’s literally around the corner.

Questionable spatial awareness aside, though, there’s little better than laughter at a child’s expense.

Peace out.

Questionable spatial awareness aside, though, there’s little better than laughter at a child’s expense.

Editor, In response to Mari Briggs’ letter (published Oct. 27), currently, no test can determine what stage of COVID-19 illness a person is in. Quarantine and isolation periods are entirely dependent on multiple internal and external factors.

People over the age of 65 and those with chronic health conditions are more likely to have severe symptoms or die from COVID. Receiving a flu shot would be beneficial because it would decrease the chances of a person having COVID and the flu at the same time. There is currently no evidence to suggest a correlation between flu shots and COVID illness.

COVID antibodies fade quickly, suggesting herd immunity won’t exist until a vaccine is available. Allowing the virus to “run its course” and infect mass numbers of people would result in countless, needless deaths.

I contacted Mr. Dickson last week and asked if I could select a few of my favorite entries to share with my readers. He graciously said, “Be my guest,” so here they are. Enjoy!

Wife winners When a man says a game is silly and childish, it’s probably something his wife beat him at.

More likely to lose The person with the most raffle tickets has the least chance of winning.

Always wrong There is no virtue in being consistent, if you are consistently wrong.

Heart issues Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

Slow thinker He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Remain silent If you don’t say anything, you won’t be

called on to repeat it.

Choose left Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do.

Parking lottery If you get a great parking spot, you’ve shown up on the wrong day.

Cats and dogs If you see a cat and a dog eating out of the same bowl, it was the cat’s food.

Speaking disengagement Once you finally overcome your fear of public speaking, you will never be asked to speak again.

Three options When asking directions, the first three people will either: 1: Not speak English, 2: Be stupid, or 3: Be dead wrong.

Nap first Have a lot to get done? Take your nap first.

Funeral attendance Regardless of how much you achieve in your life, the size of your funeral will depend on the weather.

Boredom If you knew what you were doing, you’d be bored.

Zionsville RDC awards grants to eight local businesses

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Redevelopment Commission has awarded grants to eight Zionsville businesses that were negativePANDEMIC ly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The commission, after receiving recommendations from the town’s community development corporation, awarded $10,000 grants by way of the town’s CDC grant program to Blooms by Dragonfly and Casalini Portraits. It also awarded a $7,500 grant to Village Antique Shop and a $6,000 grant to Frances+Parke, among others. The total amount of grants awarded is $73,500.

Previously, local retailer Lesley Jane received a $10,000 grant from the grant program to update and enhance the business’s website.

To help local businesses impacted by COVID-19, earlier this summer Zionsville launched its CDC grant program. The funding option is available to businesses in the 106th Street Tax Increment Finance District.

“With the launch of this grant program this past summer, we have been taking action to support the economic sustainability of Zionsville’s local businesses,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated. “We are committed to helping lift up this vital sector of our local economy.”

Blooms by Dragonfly co-owner Wendi Louks said her flower shop was not dramatically impacted by pandemic-related restrictions. But she said the businesses’ online orders decreased because of the limitations imposed on weddings and similar celebrations. She said her business receives half the number of orders it usually would per wedding because newlyweds have tended to hold smaller events during the pandemic.

However, the business’ deliveries have risen, increasing the wear on its delivery vehicle.

“This year has been difficult for everyone, and I found our primary need is to change the scope of our business,” Louks said.

Tracy Dull, owner of Frances+Parke, a men’s and women’s clothing store, recognized a need for a formal marketing plan and an improved website while her store was closed for more than a month during the pandemic. She said she planned to use the grant to formulate a marketing plan using a combination of in-house staff and local marketing agency Mundil Marketing.

The store’s advertising budget was the first expense cut after the pandemic began, so Dull also plans to use some of the grant money to advertise in local newspapers and magazines.

Mike Gogis, a representative of Village Antique Shop, said his store was in need of a website and a new metal sign and lighting to attract customers for the 51 vendors who operate out of the space.

Tom Casalini, a fine portrait artist and author who has lived in Zionsville for 47 years, said his business, Casalini Portraits, had been “struck hard” by the pandemic.

The business averaged 84 commissioned portraits a year prior to the pandemic. This year, it has received six. He said the grant will help replace nonfunctioning printers and offset costs for the launch of his second book, “The Queerness Doesn’t Matter: A Journey With My Friends of Dorothy.”

In addition, grants were awarded to the following Zionsville businesses: • CV Art and Frame - $10,000 grant. Owner Barbara Jennings will use the grant for marketing, to direct people to the website and to pay the salary of an employee assisting with social media efforts to drive people to the business’ website.

• Hopwood Cellars - $10,000 grant. Owner Ron Hopwood will use the grant for marketing purposes and to update the business’ website.

• zWorks - $10,000 grant. Executive Director Vickie Hall will use the grant to cover lost revenue due to a decrease in membership and in-kind donations and to cover vacant startup office space.

Boone County reports record COVID-19 cases

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. reported a single-week record of COVID-19 cases, as cases similarly rise across PANDEMIC the state and nation.

During the week ending Oct. 23, the BCHD reported 100 additional cases of COVID-19. The total was the highest single-week figure since the start of the pandemic. The prior week, the BCHD reported 73 additional cases, which was a single-week record at the time.

BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said the department, which tallies positive cases from Saturday to Friday, already knew of 76 additional cases

by Wednesday, and she suspected that, if numbers continued to increase, the county would see another record-setting week by Friday.

Of the new cases reported for the week ending Oct. 23, Haughton said the BCHD reported new cases originating from Signature Healthcare at Parkwood, a longterm care facility in Lebanon that had an outbreak of the disease starting in early

October.

On Oct. 20, the department reported a COVID-19 outbreak in a Boone County longterm-care facility resulting in 37 positive cases and four deaths. More were reported this week.

“We had about 10 Parkwood residents who were new active cases and about 10 Parkwood employees,” Haughton said.

“However, not all of those employees live in Boone County, so they wouldn’t necessarily go toward that final count.”

But Haughton warned most of the new cases were not exclusive to long-term care facilities, indicating increased community spread. BCHD officials said no one city or town in the county had more community spread than the other. Haughton said the spike could be attributed to colder temperatures, but she added that it also could be a result of residents not properly following mitigation protocols.

“I think a lot of folks are tired of being cooped up inside,” Haughton said. “They are tired of social distancing. They are tired of wearing masks, so I think it’s a combination of the colder weather and people just wanting to get back to life as it was before.”

DISPATCHES Moving for better health — Sitting for most of the day is terrible for your health, raising your risk for diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. For better health, try to get up and do some light activity several times a day, even if you have a sedentary job. Moving around triggers blood flow, clears glucose from the blood and breaks down triglycerides.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Banned artificial flavors you’re still consuming — The good news is, the FDA has banned six artificial flavors that have been linked to cancer. The bad news is, you’re still eating them, and you might be for a long time. As is common with such bans, food manufacturers have two years to remove the banned chemicals from their products. And because manufacturers are still permitted to label all chemicals used to simulate natural flavors as, generically, “artificial flavors,” there’s no way to know which products contain these particular offenders: benzophenone, ethyl acrylate, methyl eugenol, myrcene, pulegone and pyridine.

The ban came in response to a 2016 citizen petition from consumer and environmental groups, including the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Natural Resources Defense Council, after the six chemicals were linked to cancer in laboratory animals by the National Toxicology Program.

Demand is 50 percent in recent days compared to what it was just 30 days ago. Convalescent plasma is used by hospitals across Indiana to help treat a surging number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is appealing to Hoosiers who have recovered from coronavirus to donate their antibody-rich plasma at any one of its donor centers throughout Indiana, in Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Greenwood, Lafayette and Terre Haute.

Carmel resident’s passion for art led to novel on Pompeii priestess

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A nearly three-decade passion of Sandra C. Hurt’s was ignited by a women’s study group.

Hurt attended a lecture by a former AUTHOR Butler University instructor on the topic of women in art through the centuries.

“I was taken away by a fresco of a woman,” Hurt said of paintings displayed on the walls on plaster. “I’ve never been the same since. These frescoes really spoke to me. I had an interesting experience. Her face haunted me. I couldn’t get over it.”

Hurt began researching the history of Pompeii, an ancient city near Naples, Italy, through numerous books and eventually through visits.

Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The disaster killed an estimated 16,000 people.

The Carmel resident’s “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey” is her first novel. Hurt finished the book in June. It was self-published in August. She is working on a second book in the series.

“She really expressed the attitudes of the women of the day,” Hurt said of the fresco. “They know only her name and they think she owned the villa. The frescoes represent a women’s ritual to the (greek god) Dionysus.”

A couple years after seeing the frescoes, she took an art history course at the Indianapolis Arts Center. The center organized a trip to Pompeii and the Villa of the Mysteries on the outskirts of Pompeii “I got to see the frescoes in person and was dumbstruck, too,” she said. “I had read a lot about it by the time we went but it was an inspiring experience.”

Hurt started the book on Jan. 1, 2000. She presents the priestess, Rufilla Istacidii, as a real person who was adopted by a wealthy family, so Hurt set the story in her historic time of the first century B.C. It was the era of Julius Caesar, who is included in the novel.

“But nothing else is known about her, so that’s perfect for a novel,” she said. “The story evolved, and I’ve been there several times and other places in Italy as well as Greece. In the book, she does a coming-of-age journey when she goes to Greece. The only information that I did find is she really was a priestess of Venus, who was the patron goddess of the City of Pompeii, and she was also a priestess of Dionysus. They think she was the one that conducted the initiation ritual.”

The priestess’ father was written as a military member and equestrian.

Weather shuts down ATI drive-in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sandra C. Hurt pauses with a copy of her book, “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey,” in her home library.

Hurt, who had been trained as a nurse, had not taken classes growing up about the classics, so she took courses at Indiana University in Bloomington and IUPUI. The classes also included creative writing.

Hurt had been writing short stories and poetry her entire life.

Hurt and her husband, Stan, who owned a distribution center for heating and air conditioning, which he sold, have lived in Carmel since 2008. Her husband went with her on the first visit to Pompeii, but she has since traveled there several other times with women’s groups and a friend.

“I took tours with travel companies who hired archeologists to guide and give lectures on the Roman and Greek ruins we visited,” she said. “Pompeii is an ancient city that is still revealing her fascinating history.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell loves Indiana, but not its unpredictable weather.

“The weather can change on a dime,” he said. “We were watching the weather minute by minute.”

Due to inclement weather on Oct. 23, Carmel-based ATI had to cancel its Drive-In Theatre concert of “Cole With a Side of Hoagy” at the Monon Shopping Center in Carmel.

ATI made a livestream production of the Oct. 29, show, which was a tribute to Indiana composers Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.

Farrell said ATI officials kept monitoring the bad weather for rain and lightning and had to be careful because they were using rental equipment, including LED lights, and a metal stage.

“We set everything up, and then another system came in and we had to take it back down,” Farrell said. “As we were coming up on (show) time, it just wasn’t the safest thing to do. Normally, we would try to do it the next night, but we had scheduling conflicts with a lot of performers and designers.”

A third ATI Drive-In Concert is set for Nov. 27 at the Monon Shopping Center. The first one was held Sept. 18.

Geist man promotes Indy jazz

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Sheldon has been photographing musicians for 40 years. In particular, the Geist resident is well known for MUSIC photographing jazz musicians.

“I don’t remember a time in my life when music wasn’t important,” Sheldon said. “Even as a little kid I was enthralled with music, period. I got my first camera when I was 18. I understood documenting events around your life, (and) in my case it happens to be music. I shoot for various jazz and blues magazines. In the past 20 years, it’s been primarily photographing jazz and blues.”

Sheldon has taken photos at the Indianapolis Jazz Festival for several years. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will be virtual with “Celebrate Naptown,” a four-part online concert series beginning Nov. 13. The concerts will be released free with a fundraising goal of $25,000. Donations are requested.

The events are: “Celebrate Naptown All-Star Show,” 8 p.m.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 339 S. Delaware St., Indianapolis What to get: Linguini Nero Price: $22 Anna’s take: Nesso Italian Kitchen recently reopened in downtown Indianapolis, and it’s definitely worth trying. Soft lighting and shadows set the mood for luxurious Italian dining. The food is top notch. I started with the burrata ($13), a mix of cherry tomatoes, candied onions, salsa verde and levain bread with a large ball of cheese in the middle. My main course was Linguini Nero, which is made with squid-ink pasta, which turns the noodles black. It tastes similar to regular pasta, but the color adds a uniqueness to the dish, which also has shrimp, scallops, octopus, oil-cured tomato, garlic, pepper flakes and herbs. I finished the meal with a delectable budino ($10),

Blueprint for Improvement: Historic Indy fireplace wall Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. In the living room, the expansive stone wall surrounding the fireplace was missing a major focal point — a mantel. A custom, 16-foot poplar wood mantel was designed and installed to complete the room.

2. Avid art collectors, the homeowners wanted to create additional display space for their many treasures. Custom-built shelving in the breakfast nook creates the perfect backdrop.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling; email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com.

Visit caseindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

This 1957 home is in Indianapolis’ historic Crow’s Nest neighborhood. The new owners wanted to modernize several of the rooms while honoring the mid-century style of the home’s interior. This is the final installment of a three-part series.

A history of Sydney’s Anzac Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel Many consider the Anzac Memorial in Sydney to be the most beautiful Art Deco structure in Australia. Two TRAVEL sculptures proposed for the memorial were a little too evocative.

Australian and New Zealand troops supporting the Allied effort in World War I were known as “Anzac,” short for “Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.” On April 25, 1915, about 25,000 Anzac troops landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula as part of an Allied initiative to seize control of the Dardanelles from the Ottoman Empire. Anzac losses on that first day exceeded 2,000 dead and wounded, and the Allied effort ultimately failed. The huge casualties were a shock to the people of Australia, then with a population of only about 4.5 million. Australians almost immediately began raising money for a memorial to honor the sacrifices and heroism of the Anzac soldiers.

In 1930, following extensive debates about the nature of the memorial, C. Bruce Dellit, a Sydney architect, won a design competition for an Art Deco memorial in

1918,” depicted another nude woman, symbolizing Australia, also atop a pyramid of dead soldiers. Hoff abandoned these sculptures after local religious leaders condemned them as blasphemous.

The Anzac Memorial was dedicated in 1934. In 1984, it was rededicated to honor all Australians serving their country in war.
